Book Reviews of The Camel Bookmobile: A Novel (P.S.)
Book Review: This book was just okay...
Summary: 3 Stars
A woman who sees her life going nowhere goes to Kenya and starts a camel bookmobile to bring books to the people. However, one day a boy does not return his book, and according to policy, this means the bookmobile can no longer lend books to this particular village.
Loving books myself, I thought this night be a winner...and at first, it was. However, the author had many things going on, things that made me wonder, "Oh my...how are these characters going to get out of this one?" so I kept on reading. The ending was a total cop-out, like the author realized, "Oops. I don't know how to fix this!" so they came up with a ending that was disapointing. Plus, learning that the kid (who is almost 17 years old) wouldn't return his book because he took the book apart and drew on the pages (!!!???) is about the stupidest reason the author could have thought up to explain why the kid wouldn't return it. So overall, the book was just ok. I think it could have been better.
